Published every 15 days during the French university year, September to June, Revue Faire is a vital addition to the small selection of journals addressing graphic design from a critical standpoint. Every issue addresses a single area of creative endeavour, and is presented in the magazine’s signature graphic style in two languages.
This salmon-hued issue centres on Swedish art historian and curator Pontus Hultén, founder of numerous institutions, including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Centre Pompidou. Inside, graphic designer Malou Messien guides readers through Hultén’s publishing practice during his time at the Moderna Museet, from 1960 to 1973. Across 42 glossy pages, the issue showcases his extensive and innovative work with exhibition catalogues—spanning experimentations in layout, colour, design and bookbinding.
On the Journal
At Work With founders Sacha and François: ‘We started Revue Faire as we finished being weekly lecturers in graphic design schools. But the publishing rhythm is based on the school schedule—an issue every 15 days, from September to June. The main purpose is to deliver every 15 days a kind of small course about one specific topic. In that way, one season can become a kind of visual culture course in 15 lessons.’
